S = Single, D = Double/Twin, T = Triple, Q = Quad, b = bathroom, s = shower only.
Unless otherwise noted, credit cards are accepted, English is spoken, and breakfast is
included (except in Vernazza). Many towns in Italy levy a hotel tax of €2 per person,
per night, which must be paid in cash (not included in the rates I've quoted).
To help you sort easily through these listings, I've divided the accommodations
into three categories based on the price for a standard double room with bath:
$$$ Higher Priced —Most rooms €100 or more.
$$ Moderately Priced —Most rooms between €50-100.
$ Lower Priced —Most rooms €50 or less.
Prices can change without notice; verify the hotel's current rates online or by
email.
